President Bola Tinubu emphasized the crucial need for peace and unity in Africa to achieve progress and development. He stated that without peace, development is impossible, and African leaders must take charge of solving their own problems, rejecting external expectations of conflict and instability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tinubu made this statement at a dinner hosted by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea, where he stressed the importance of prioritizing peace, stability, and progress. He highlighted the brain drain and talent loss Africa faces due to poverty, archaic judicial systems, and tribalism, emphasizing that these issues must be addressed to foster development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president also appealed to international organizations to invest more in African research and development, emphasizing the need for collective action to address conflicts in regions such as the Congo Republic and the Sahel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tinubu’s message was clear: Africa’s progress and development depend on peace, stability, and democracy. He urged African leaders to take action now, saying, “We better roll our sleeves, put on our nickers and move for peace, stability and progress.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president’s call to action emphasizes the need for African leaders to work together to address the continent’s challenges and achieve sustainable development. By prioritizing peace, stability, and progress, Africa can unlock its full potential and achieve the development its people deserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
